Description
The Egton stone memorial, known as the Swinsty Cross, is a Grade II-listed structure located on Castle Hill, overlooking Egton Bridge to the north and Beck Hole to the east. It is situated approximately 600 meters east of two Grade II-listed waymarkers along the Stape to Egton Road and Stape to Grosmont Road. The memorial takes the form of a cross, which is said to be inspired by a wayside cross near Vittel in the Vosges, France.
The design features a blind wheel-head cross with the figure of Christ crucified, which rises from the stepped capital of a tapering column that is square in plan. The base of the column is a cube, with raised panels carved on three sides. The front panel contains the only inscription, which reads "KF/ 1929." The cross is set on a stone base that has a slightly projecting cornice at the front only, and this base is mounted on a square platform.
